Beale Street Blues with Scat and lyric Nov 3, 2022.mp3


I finished the scat and lyric version of the song beginning to end. I was aiming to get the sound of Satchmo but he had more practice and talent. I learned to yodel some years ago and found that yodelling doesn't work easily without the standard nonsense lyrics. It's much easier with something like:

Heidi hey yodel ay ee tee oh
Hulla lo oh tee Hulla lo oh tee
Heidi hey yodel ay ee tee oh
Hulla lo oh tee yodel ladie tee

Before I tried to copy Satchmo and the chimps and they don't fit as well with what I'm doing. I think there's a lot of personality that Armstrong was able to express that was one reason it sounds so cool.
 

Anyway, I don't know if this is proper scat, but it doesn't make me look quite as foolish as I felt I sounded at times in the other recording.

It's back to 105 in tempo by the way.

Just found this from the Perch Bar. I like the singing better.

It's in F#. I remember I couldn't use my new tuner. This is a better recording to embellish in my opinion.

At least its more fun somehow. Well, maybe I should have worked with the new recording but I wasn't happy with my voice.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2022







AUGUST 31, 2022

Just me playing the melody mostly. I added organ to make it prettier. I was so busy with the backing chords and I cut them out when they sounded wrong. I didn't get to the jazzy stuff the guy did. Just made up some stuff and experimented to see if I could get chords to work. That's the clunking heard at the end.

I'd like to see what I could do with some originals or some standards I could add to my 'toire. Stuff like "All the Things You Are."

SEPTEMBER 11, 2022 ONLY HAVE THE ONE-TRACK GUITAR BACKING and ONE-TRACK VOCAL. With punch-ins there are some other tracks I guess....

I found this recording of a jazzy song ("If You Ever Need a Fool") I wrote but can't remember anything about but the ending is improvisation-like. I was surprised to hear the ending!

I have no recollection of recording this (but I like the ending which I remember nothing of) but I see I have started the sheet music and it's weird and unfinished. I'd like to add the ending part to the beginning for more of the same and finish the sheet music.

You mentioned this song and I found this guy, one Yvan Jacques, whose performance is nothing special (a lot of melody) but simple enough for me to start with. never goes much of anywhere with the solo, but maybe I can. I can record a guitar track (and maybe piano/organ) to solo over.

If we have any other individual assignments like this, I have an original that I would like to work on. Maybe even write down the sheet music.
